To my fellow Miami CB7 members,
I'm not sure if any of you remember me from when I first joined the board, but I'm hoping that someone down here can help me out. I have officially been f-ed over by the guy that has been working on my car for the past two years. Yup, two damn years! The guy is quitting and I'm finally getting the car back and it's not looking good. I was able to look at the car two days ago for the first time since I last posted pics up. The F20A engine that he has supposedly "rebuilt" looks like he just dropped it in. The alternator is off and so is the crank pulley. The radiator is not even secured. There are a bunch of hoses and wires that are missing or disconnected. These past few days have been stressful because I haven't the slightest clue where to begin. I've learned that there's been nothing but lies coming out of this guy's mouth. He told me the timing is off, but it looks like more than that. Please, if anyone down here in Miami is very familiar with CB7's... engine-wise, shoot me a PM or reply here with any questions. I know it's a bit much to ask, but I need someone to help me try and bring back my ride from the dead. :(
In about three hours, I will be meeting with the guy that has my car in storage to have it towed to my friend's shop (Miami Sound Design). If the electrical works, he will try and install the door poppers. From there, I need to figure out what I can do about getting the engine running. I will try and get some pictures up as soon as I can get a camera.
For those who did not link from my gallery post, here is my ride:
